Lyrics[]

Strike up the music
The band has begun
(The Pennsylvania Polka)

Pick out your partner
And join in the fun
(The Pennsylvania Polka)

It started in Scranton
It's now number one
It's gonna entertain ya

Everybody has a mania
To do the polka from Pennsylvania

(While they're dancing)
Everybody's cares are quickly gone
(Dancing, dancing)
This goes on and on
Until the dawn

(We're so carefree)
Gay with laughter
Happy as can be

They stop to have a laugh
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Then the crowd begins to cheer
(They dance, and dance
And start to dance again)
